Major League Baseball suspended L.J. Hoes 50 games following a second positive drug test.

Not the best start to the spring for Hoes. The 25-year-old saw just 15 major league at-bats in 2015 and none in 2016. He does not currently have a contract with a major league team. The suspension will not kick in until he signs with a club. Wed, Feb 15, 2017 05:25:00 PM

Orioles acquired OF L.J. Hoes from the Astros for cash considerations.

Hoes was designated for assignment by the Astros last week and the Orioles jumped at the opportunity at a reunion. The 25-year-old has struggled in sporadic opportunities in the majors, but he's coming off a strong season in Triple-A where he batted .295/.383/.400 over 99 games. He figures to compete for a bench job in the spring. Wed, Nov 25, 2015 11:38:00 AM

Orioles placed LHP Zach Britton on the 60-day disabled list with a ruptured right Achilles tendon.

The move creates a spot on the 40-man roster for Andrew Cashner. Britton is expected to be out until around midseason while recovering from Achilles surgery. Brad Brach will likely handle the closing duties in the meantime.
